Boil crawfish in unseasoned water. Save as much of the fat as
possible while peeling them. Melt butter in a large skillet. Sauté
onions, scallions, celery, bell pepper, and garlic over moderate
heat. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon until vegetables become
soft, about 5 minutes. Add flour and mix well. Remove from heat and
stir in the crawfish and fat. Add salt and peppers according to
taste. Pour into a 9" pie crust and bake at 350°F for 15 to
20 minutes.
